Oh, this doesn't seem to be entirely true. The FTP maintainers have a lot
of hassle with all new packages. Not with regular and known ones for
unstable though. Dark just said some days ago that they're partially
timely bound to new packages and have only few time to improve maintenance
tools.
Regarding uploads to frozen, they are not managed by the ftp maintainers
but by the release engeneer. He however has to deal with them manually
and approve each and every upload - or disapprove it.
